Macenstein’s “Mac Chick of the Month” (May 2007): Posh Suicide

Welcome to Macenstein’s“Mac Chick of the Month”. Each month we feature a different die-hard, Mac-loving girl who is (almost) as well designed as the Apple products they love. This month we present you with the lovely Posh Suicide designer and Suicide Girls model, who in addition to being a video game junkie, is also a total Mac Geek.

“I’ve been modeling over at SuicideGirls.com (everyone over there uses Macs!) exclusively for 3 and a half years. Contrary to what some think, we aren’t all crazy, super pierced and tattooed, willing to get naked for anyone, or even suicidal. I’m just a shy geeky girl! I got my start in the tech world about 8 years ago, after teaching myself enough PHP in a month to land a dev job at a University. Since then, it’s been my life, from jobs to hobbies, to the men I date! ”

My First Apple product: It was a teeny iBook. I’d saved all my money and it came down to putting it aside to have rent covered for a couple months… or finally getting an iBook. I chose Apple. It’s amazing to look at it now. It feels like a toy.

Favorite Apple Gear: My Macbook Pro. I have mine running as a desktop with pretty much external everything. Though I wish I’d waited one more month to get it, given the introduction of the upgraded Core 2 Duo model and the discontinuation of mine. My iPod 30gig also ranks pretty high up there. I don’t know what I’d do without it. It’s saved my sanity countless times while riding SoCal transportion. It did get me into trouble one time when a very confused sheriff was called onto the public bus and gave me a warning for listening to my iPod with both headphones in.

â€œWhat originally attracted me to the Mac was its aesthetics. I’m a sucker for good design. Upon learning of the technological superiority in the engineering though and really, the far superior user experience I was hooked. There are rarely ever any headaches, and I love that I can just plug anything in, like my tablet for example, without worrying about downloading Wacom drivers before use. I can’t even imagine going back to Windows based PCs as my main computer. Though maybe give me a linux box … ”

â€œIn addition to being a mac fanatic, I’m also very big into gaming. While not being the mac’s strong suit (yet!), I do manage to play a lot of WoW on it. It plays much better on my laptop than the PC I built for that very reason. Beyond that, I have a fairly big collection of consoles and games, the 360 being my all around favorite. It’s amazing how much Achievements change the way you play a game. â€

In a world where the gene pool needs some chlorine, Posh is definitely someone who should reproduce. Smart, gorgeous, artsy. She’s definitely worth one of three wishes… now where’d I put that magic lamp?

I don’t like Macs (the hardware, not Mac OS X) because they are undertweakable. They use clever but propreitary designs that aren’t compatible with generic run of the mill hardware.
And just because she’s posing nude with a Mac that doesn’t mean she’s cool. I think more highly of someone getting Mac OS X running on a PC with Quartz Extreme, Core Image, and 3D acceleration working.
